Prannoy Roy Speaks To KCR On Role Of Regional Parties In Polls | Read
K Chandrashekar Rao, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi chief, led his party to a famous win last year in the state's assembly election. After the polls, he set his eyes on his national mission -- a pan-India, federal alliance without the Congress and the BJP. The alliance didn't take shape before the election. His next big task is to score a landslide win in Telangana in the national election. But can he do so? NDTV's Prannoy Roy examines the possibility of the prospects of Mr Rao's party's win in the state. Mr Rao, in an interview with Prannoy Roy, also talks about how his party and his opponents may perform in this month's elections.
Here are the highlights of Prannoy Roy's show:
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao talks to Prannoy Roy on the role of regional parties in Lok Sabha Elections 2019 and more.
"Things appear very clear to me that no single party will form the government in the country. The results will be surprising. I foresee a situation where regional parties have to work together and gain a say in the post-poll scenario, so that the country will be benefited. There will be a coalition government in the centre": K Chandrashekar Rao.
"The BJP is bound to lose seats in all the states where they gained last time. It won't be the same game. 2019 will be totally different from 2014": K Chandrashekar Rao.
"The BJP and the Congress have miserably failed in delivering to the nation. There is a need for a new alternative. That's why I was proposing to establish a national party if required, with like-minded parties. That will solve the whole problem": K Chandrashekar Rao.
"Being single-largest party is not important. What is important is who commands the majority. The regional parties will command majority": K Chandrashekar Rao.
First time, a non-Congress government formed government on its own. It has miserably failed. They didn't do anything for farmers, Dalits or the unemployed: K Chandrashekar Rao.
"I think after this election there will be a consensus among like-minded people. There is a discussion that there should be a non-Congress, non-BJP government": K Chandrashekar Rao to NDTV.
"Now, in our country, regional parties cannot be ruled out," says Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao.
"Becoming a prime minister is not my motive and it is not my agenda": K Chandrashekar Rao.
"This time we want the Congress and the BJP to come to regional parties": K Chandrashekar Rao.
"Sonia Gandhi is much better (than Rahul Gandhi). She was very understanding, very patient": K Chandrashekar Rao.
"Politically, PM Modi is a flop": K Chandrashekar Rao.
"BJP and Congress have miserably failed. There is a need for a new alternative": Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao.
"Mamata didi looks like very aggressive, but she is very understanding": K Chandrashekar Rao.
"Unfortunately, we have been discussing things in the country, leader-centric, person-centric. But, it should be issues-centric": Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao.
"How is it that everyone but the BJP members are getting raided? No one from the BJP is ever raided. How is that possible?": Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao.
